Junk yard is defined as any premises wherein the owner or any

but be not limited to any of the following substances; ashes, scrap
metal; components or parts of machinery, automobiles, or any other
motor vehicles; construction debris; used structural steel; used lumber;

All commodities as described in Section 640.010 hereof shall be contained within the area enclosed by said fence. The area so enclosed by said fence shall be kept free from filth, tall weeds, excrement, or any other substance which constitutes a nuisance under any Ordinance or Statute of this City or of the State of Missouri. The burning of any of the articles described herein in Section 640.010, is hereby prohibited.
